Led by local dance artist, Ellen Smith Ahern, this wild, interdisciplinary performance explores human and more-than-human relationship through story, song, sculpture and dance. With live storytelling and folks music, a migrating herd of creature-like lanterns, curious movement and a healthy dose of humor, Vulture Sister Song brings together artists and community members to celebrate the possibilities of vibrant interdependence.

Erin McNulty is a contemporary dance artist and educator based in the Upper Valley.

We are thrilled to introduce the first Junction Dance Festival, a three-day dance fest to expose and share with the community the wonderful talent of local amateur and professional dance artists. 40+ dancers from Vermont, New Hampshire and beyond will be gathering in downtown White River Junction for a whole week-end and will introduce you to their specific dance style and mode of choreographic expression.
Tree stories and ecological rituals. Star dances and scientific instrumentation. These interlocking dance journeys by two choreographers take us inside out, outside in, and face to face with our planetary crisis.
Through site-specific dance, Cambodian classical forms and inter-disciplinary elements, dancer/choreographers Emily Coates and Emmanuèle Phuon unpack humanity's ongoing struggle to fully grasp and represent the environment.

~Bring your light - literally! Bring lanterns, paper lanterns you may have made, or a flashlight we can diffuse with colored tissue paper (we'll have these on hand!)

In this series of monthly virtual gatherings, we will explore the landscape of our Pandemic lives, and open the unexpected gifts, as well as the sadnesses, the letting go, the longing, the missing.
Since the winter of 2020 we all have been living with at least an undercurrent of stress from the Covid-19 Pandemic. For some, it has changed life radically, whether or not you or a loved one has contracted the virus. Working, shopping, all aspects of our lives have been altered. Just as we thought we could relax our guard, the Delta Variant swept in.
